What My Client Say

Joy is amazing. Thanks to Joy, we have successfully purchased two homes and sold one. She is extremely knowledgeable in all aspects of real estate. The entire time we worked with her, she was always available and attentive to our needs.

— Ronna B.

What My Client Say

We put our Bel Air house up for sale when the escrow closed on another house we were buying. Joy was knowledgeable about our house, our area and our market. Actually, we got an offer the first day and sold the house quickly for a great price. She is a complete professional. Helpful, well plugged-in to the area she works in, easy to work with and ties up loose ends right to the finish. She didn't waste our time. She didn't lowball us for a quick sale.

— Brubel Music

What My Client Say

From the first day that we met Joy, through a personal contact, we knew we had an elegant, professional, smart, caring broker with which we felt comfortable putting our home of 25 years on the market. She understood our sensitivities about a place where we had raised our children, hosted many a wedding and school events, and had its own protocol for neighbors, etc. Privacy was important, our availability was too. She made things go smoothly. Joy was a joy!

What My Client Say

Joy was a pleasure to work with. She represented us 15 plus years ago when we bought our home in the Beverly Hills flats. Since that time, we have been renting our home out in Deep Canyon. Joy represented us most recently and found us fantastic tenants. She didn't just pick the first tenants to come along. She was very selective and counseled us on which tenants to accept. And she was right! They are a lovely family.

Joy had excellent knowledge of the market and suggested marketing strategies that created interest in our home and ultimately sold it in a couple of weeks. She kept us informed of all showings and gave us feedback regarding the showings. Joy guided us through the negotiations of the sale and kept us up to date throughout the escrow and closing. We would highly recommend Joy if you are thinking of listing your property.

— Seller

What My Client Say

Joy's insights into general market conditions and how generalities might be applied to the nuances of my property helped me realize a very fair price for my house. Every property is different, and the expectations of every potential buyer are different; Joy helped me understand how to favorably manage those differences. The interactions with Joy, including management of the little things that keep the big things on track, were always pleasurable and effective. Joy is a cool, competent, and effective professional - forget the rah-rah-rah, she just gets the job done.

Her ideas on how to present the home for sale were very creative, and she moved the pre-sale process along nicely.

I strongly recommend her.
